OFFICER REPORTS Financial Report. Rob Lee reviewed income and expenses through the 2018 calendar year and first quarter of 2019 (attached). Income exceeded expenses for 2018. Of note, 2018 marked the third year in a row of Cooperative Program giving in excess of 100% of the budgeted amount. During the first quarter of 2019, Cooperative Program giving was at 28.63% (target 25%). Of note, many churches include giving to the State Missions Offering throughout the year as part of their annual budget. Lee Mowery – moved to accept the finance report; Bryan Catherman seconded; Motion approved

Executive Director Report. Rob Lee presented the executive director report (attached). In 2018, we moved from 133 to 145 churches giving to the Cooperative Program. As a result of the above budget giving, half of the above budget giving is forwarded to the SBC executive committee for Cooperative Program giving. For the first time in the history of the UISBC, we forwarded more than 200K to the SBC through CP giving. The other portion of the above budget giving goes to funding pastor/wives retreat (ReCharge) every other year.

Rob also acknowledged state missionaries and staff for their contributions. These include: • This summer Debbie Chidester will be marking 20 years with the Utah/Idaho SBC. • At the end of this month, Jason McNair will be marking 10 years with the Utah/Idaho SBC. • Mary McFarling who continues to serve without funding for her position. • Pastors serving in our local churches

2019 Book of Reports Page 12

Vision 2020 report highlights Starting churches • 186 churches affiliated with UISBC. This is an increase of 40 congregations since beginning of Vision 2020. • 29% of the churches that are part of the UISBC have been started in the past 5.5 years Sharing Christ • ½ of churches did not provide an ACP report so hard to really know how we are doing, including baptisms • Rob gave an example of a rural church that has been revitalized; moving from an average attendance of 4 to 30 with 14 baptisms Strengthening existing churches • Rob noted that efforts need to be contextualized for each church. • Recent SBC study endorsed church revitalization efforts resting with the state conventions • Staff have assisted over 80 churches with outreach projects over the past few years

What is next after Vision 2020 (see attached slides) • Rob has started doctorate of ministry in executive leadership at Gateway Seminary • Ministry opportunities - Annual SBC meeting coming to SLC in 2025, Winter Olympics may return at some point in the future • Denominee – Will Mancini ministry (see handout) Rob, Jason, & Bryan attended a meeting last month; process for helping conventions “reinvent” themselves • Consultant for churches and conventions to help envision the future • Intense process – NAMB willing to come alongside churches to help; see handout for costs

Questions for the executive board to consider: • Do we believe God has been leading us in the right direction with Vision 2020? • Do we need to look at and reinvent UISBC? We are coming to the end of Vision 2020 so do need to be thinking about what happens next. • Rob led a question and answer period in relation to pursuing potential to work with Will Mancini ministry.

Question & Answer period • Changes in occurring in other state conventions pertaining to the perceived value of a state convention, e.g. Significant downsizing in Georgia, Florida, & Alabama. Some of these larger conventions are finding themselves needing to look more like us • Is this looking at revitalization at a larger level (some of us focusing on revitalizing within churches) • Do we need this much of a consultant? (A lot of money for possibly not a lot of time) • Could Arizona convention (has gone through the Mancini program) be a coach/resource to UISBC? • Comment that some of the larger conventions are giving less to the Cooperative Program and holding on more at the state convention level. • Do we want someone to come from outside to help with casting vision or to trust the resources we have available to do from “in house” (with possible coaching from Arizona)? • Consensus of not pursuing working with the Will Mancini ministry at this time.

COMMITTEE REPORTS: Properties & Loans–-David Michael reported for the committee and thanked committee members for their contributions. Reviewed financial statement (3-13 in book). The committee noted that during the first quarter of 2019, we earned 51 cents but had a $90 bank charge. Will be working with Janice Trotter to investigate the rationale for the increased charges and whether we might have other options for keeping the money without incurring significant charges.

Since the September meeting, a question regarding the maximum amount of loan had arisen. The committee discussed whether there might be a need to state a maximum amount. In examining the procedures for the loans and grant applications, the committee noted a statement indicating that if >$10K is borrowed, the UISBC would require a lien. By having the lien, the church would likely be ineligible to request funds from other sources. As such, we determined that the likelihood for larger loan requests would be low and no additional action was necessary at this time.

The committee reviewed eligibility criteria for churches applying for loans/grants, with intent of aligning with recently amended membership criteria in the UISBC Constitution.

Action item 19-001-PL. Adding the following to the loan/grant application. Eligibility criterion, “To be eligible to request a loan/grant, a church must be a member of the Utah/Idaho SBC as defined by Article III of the constitution of the Utah/Idaho SBC.” Checklist items: 1. Are you a church that is cooperative in faith and practice as defined by Article III, section 1(d&e) of the constitution of the Utah/Idaho SBC?, 2. Have you submitted an annual church statistical profile within the past year?, and 3. Does your church contribute to the Cooperative Program? • No discussion/question • Passed unanimously

Program Committee-–Trey Sapp reported for the committee and acknowledged committee members and convention officers for setting enthusiasm and creativity. The committee reviewed state staff and volunteer reports with an eye to “what next?, what are solutions?, how can the program committee help?”

Committee discussion topics: 1. Issue with decreasing number of ACP reports being returned – is it a problem or a symptom of a different problem that we can address? 52% did not submit in 2018 so only 48% returned a. Plan: Corey, Emery, Matt will serve as sub-committee to make calls, outreach, etc. to help to discern issues and things we can address b. Also consider what insights we might have within our associations – e.g. do churches understand the “why” behind submitting these reports, including representation on IMB board of trustees 2. Child protection practices in relation to youth events a. Mike and Matt – will be reviewing all child protection policies in relation to youth events and look for any holes/gaps

Background for action items: In light of conversations from the October 2018 Annual meeting and

2019 Book of Reports Page 14 reports from our Sharing Christ Missionary, it has become clear that the yearly student events (Sonfest and Ski & Share) need to be reviewed and emphasized. Attendance is decreasing, costs are rising, and child safety is a growing priority. Action requested: Evaluate the following - Contextualization (a relevant message to students), Processes (streamlined and modern), Finances (not losing money), Leadership (Jerry leading a network of student leaders), and Policies (safe and consistent).

Action item 19-002-PC. Review and update of UISBC Student Events through a 2-year evaluation process. Attendance is decreasing, costs are rising, and child safety is a growing priority.

Establish a philosophy that will raise the quality of the event for two years, then strictly evaluate the trends in attendance, effectiveness, and cost. The goal is to trend in the direction of self-sustaining events by: Intentionally seek to add Utah Leaders to the Student Ministry Network. Establish a fund from state mission offering remainders that the Sharing Christ Missionary can use to hire quality speakers, musicians, establish web tools, etc. with the purpose of better contextualizing the message of the Gospel. This fund will exist for two years. To prevent any confusion with our current child protection policies, rooms with be negotiated at a price and recommended to churches, but churches will make their own decisions on hotels and rooming policies. Continue Child Protection Policy review for student events.

Question: what is the amount of funding – think that the remainder available is around $40K so would put in an additional 15-20K/year. This would not affect this year’s budget as the funds are already present. Vote: Passed unanimously

19-003-PC. Review and Update of UISBC Student Events - Training Request that UISBC staff make training available to churches.

In an effort to continually review and adjust our child protection policies related to youth and children events, we request that the UISBC staff make training available to churches for volunteers. This training must help volunteers understand child protection policies, reporting procedures and appropriate behavior when relating to children and students. The staff should use their discretion in which tools to use for such a training. Staff may use discretion regarding tools to use for training. Staff make the training available to churches for those volunteers who would be participating in events

Question: Source of funding? Answer: Allow to come from Rob’s discretion. For the current year, will not affect the budget. Vote: Passed unanimously

Budget & Finance Committee – Daniel Savage reported on behalf of the committee

Reviewed 2018 totals and 2019 first quarter Discussed designated funds – talked about that there are things for which we have $$ but people may not know about. Many churches may be hesitant to ask. How can we best utilize those funds? Some are labeled “missions” so that is pretty broad.

2019 Book of Reports Page 15 19-001-BF – Given changes in laws pertaining to non-profit organizations, the Minchow group is no longer available to do the reviews/audits. The Reid group has been secured to provide the audits. Recommendation to have an audit completed every 5 years in addition when a change in the Executive Director-Treasurer occurs. Vote: Passed unanimously

19-002-BF – Recommendation for developing the designated account for emergency pastoral assistance. Recommendation is to use under-spent cooperative program budget accounts to bring the Emergency Assistance account (8940) up to $5000 each year. No questions; Vote: Passed unanimously

19-003-BF – Cooperative Program Percentage for 2020. Recommendation is to continue the 5-year plan of raising Cooperative Program giving each year. The 2020 percentage would be 30% with the challenge goal of 50% of state Cooperative Program receipts given above budget being forwarded nationally and the remaining 50% above budget amount being designated for the Pastors/Wives retreat. Question – clarifying that anything in excess of the 30% – ½ would go nationally & ½ for Pastors/Wives retreat – yes Vote: Passed unanimously

(Note: this was in the book but not on the recording) 19-004-BF – relates to the cost of the audit. The budgeted amount was $6,000; however, the actual cost, including travel, will be $12,000. Recommendation to affirm overspending of this budget line item for the 2019 budget.

Administrative Committee-–Travis Best reported the following recommendations from the committee.

19-001-AC – updates regarding sexual abuse/harassment policy. Recommendation for administrative committee to review current policy, particularly articles 6 & 7, and consider actions that the staff recommends regarding additions or amendments to the current Sexual Abuse and Harassment policy. Others on executive committee can also review and provide feedback. No action at present but likely will have a recommendation at next executive board meeting.

19-002-AC – staff salaries and cost of living adjustments (COLAs). Typically, we have been providing only 1%. Committee coming with recommendation to add 3% COLA for 2020 budget and then reevaluate the next year. This will go to the finance committee as they prepare the 2020 budget now. Question: how did we get at 3% - answer: looking at national averages and government COLAs. Follow up comment: Want to be clear that we are documenting our basis/rationale for these values. Vote: Passed unanimously

Follow up question: is it too early to talk about how to establish the basis for COLAs for future years vs “what do you think?” Answer: Two factors – Government COLA and our budget. We are only just beginning to have a sufficient budget to address COLAs and we are in a catch-up mode at the present.

2019 Book of Reports Page 16 Travis Best reminded executive board members to review books between meetings and to feel free to raise questions. As noted above, all are asked to review the Sexual Abuse and Harassment Policy prior to the next meeting.

OLD/UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None.

NEW BUSINESS: The next meeting of the Board will be September 5 & 6, 2019 at First Baptist Church of West Valley City, Utah. Billy Galloska moved to adopt those dates; seconded by Bryan Catherman. Vote: Passed unanimously

Mary McFarling presented on behalf of Women’s Ministries. For the first time in several years, planning a joint Utah/Idaho Women’s Retreat to be hosted at Mountain View Baptist Church in Layton, UT, September 20 & 21. The title of the event will be “Journey,” and the speaker from LifeWay is Debbie Stuart from Tyler, Texas. The retreat will also feature some breakout sessions. Mary provided flyers to share at local churches to save the date and encourage women to attend. Women’s Ministries is also seeking to reach out and provide support to women’s groups in other areas of the convention who may have more difficulty traveling to a central event.

David Bernstein moved to adjourn, and the motion was approved.

Travis Best reminded members to leave name badges and provide expense reports. Matt Emadi led in prayer for the convention staff.

Respectfully submitted, Lauri Linder, Acting Recording Secretary

2019 Book of Reports Page 17 EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING MINUTES September 7, 2019

The meeting was called to order at 9:00 AM by Travis Best.

Scripture and Prayer was led by Billy Galloska. The scripture was Matthew 14:22-33.

U & I Together Report: Rob Lee reported the increase of churches from 146 to 188 in the past five years. He also emphasized The Gospel Above All support of Who’s Your One? by JD Greear, President of the Southern Baptist Convention. Sonfest saw God move to produce 12 professions of faith, 23 rededications, and 22 students accepting the call to ministry. They were given copies of the book Is God Calling Me? By Jeff Iorg.

Rob also reported about Harvest Boise coming May 1-3, 2020 to the Extra Mile Arena on the Boise State campus. Attendance is expected to be 30 to 36 thousand. Harvest averages ten percent professions of faith at the crusades for a projection of 3,000 to 3,600 for the weekend. The 124 churches already committed are asking the Lord for 5,000.

He reported the increase in attendance for Vernal from 40 the 170 and they have a desire to plant a new church. First Southern, St George is growing and needing additional parking. Jason McNair has helped several churches with Pastor Search Team trainings. Gary McKean is being kept busy doing trainings on legal issues, sexual abuse safety standards, and mission partnership opportunities. The book: Becoming a Church that Cares Well for the Abused handbook compiled by Brad Hambrick is being given to the churches. Lee also praised Mary McFarling for her leadership in Women’s Ministry and Ben Neiser for Collegiate Ministry leadership. He challenged the board to begin preparing for company coming to us: the SBC Meeting in 2025 and likely, the Winter Olympics in 2030. Satan hates the unity of God’s people, Ephesians 2:8. So be vigilant!

2019 Book of Reports Page 18

What’s next: Trust God for the resources for the coming challenges. In Idaho, 34 people a day go into eternity, 31 of them without Christ. In Utah, 54 people a day enter eternity, 53 of them without Christ. We have been assigned the task of seeing that every one of them know they have a choice of how they will enter eternity.

In closing, Rob Lee recognized Debbie Chidester for 20 years of service in the UISBC office and Jason McNair for 10 years of service as a State Missionary. The report was approved unanimously.

David Michael was unanimously elected to continue as chair of the Properties and Loans Committee with the motion by Billy Galloska and second by David Bernstein and carried unanimously. Action 19-002-PL, a grant of $5,000 for Lizard Butte BC was approved.

Daniel Savage presented the Budget and Finance Committee report. The audit is increasing the 2020 budget $5,000-$6,000 due to the inexpensive rate we had been receiving. NAMB is again restructuring the Cooperative Agreement resulting in less Evangelism dollars in 2020-2021 and more Church Planting dollars in the same year. The Audit Review, action item 19-005-BF, was approved unanimously. The 2020 Budget, action item 19-006-BF, which included a three percent COLA increase, was unanimously approved by process of inflation, numerous recent years without adjustments, and government figures.

The Administrative Committee presented several items for consideration. The Sexual Abuse Policy was reviewed and unanimously found acceptable. State Missionary Housing Allowances were also approved unanimously; as was the amounts designated for retirement for UISBC Staff. Discussion about outside employment by State Missionaries was concluded by the existing standard that only serving as interim pastor or pulpit supply is acceptable and totally up to each local church.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Activities The Utah-Idaho Southern Baptist Convention (the Convention) is a religious organization that provides support to Southern Baptist churches in the states of Utah and Idaho. The Convention promotes the Cooperative Program, a joint enterprise of state conventions and the Southern Baptist Convention through which the churches carry out their worldwide denominational missions and programs.

Convention activities include the following programs:

Administrative – Administrative expenses include the annual meeting, executive board, Convention operations, business/office expenses, church protection plan, personnel, insurance, and utilities costs in order to operate as a state convention.

Cooperative Program – The primary funding strategy is to support the state Convention ministries of sharing Christ, starting churches and strengthening churches and support Southern Baptist missions nationally, internationally and seminary education since 1925.

Evangelism – One of the state Convention’s priorities is to share the love for Christ with those who live, work and visit the two states region. These funds help train church members in sharing the gospel, churches with outreach events, disaster relief and women’s ministries.

Church Planting – One of the Convention’s priorities is to start churches across the two- state region who join in sharing the love of Christ. These funds help church plants starting with resources, equipping and ministerial support.

Religious Education – One of the Convention’s priorities is to strengthen existing churches. These funds provide resources, equipping conferences, and support to strengthen churches ministries to raise up multiplying disciples.

Special Ministries – The State Missions Offering supports collegiate ministries, conferences, and equipping strategies to assist our church and plants with sharing Christ (Evangelism), starting Churches (Church Planting), and strengthening Churches ministries (Religious Education). These funds help provide where Convention partners’ funding is not available.

Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

2019 Book of Reports Page 37 UTAH-IDAHO SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION (A Non-Profit Organization) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Convention considers its cash and cash equivalents to include cash held with financial institutions, money market accounts, and all short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less as of the date of purchase.

Receivables Receivables are primarily unsecured non-interest-bearing amounts due from loans to member churches from the Trust and Memorial account. Management believes that all outstanding receivables are collectible in full; therefore, no allowance for uncollectible receivables has been provided.

Investments In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values are reported at their fair value in the statement of financial position.

Certificates of deposit held to maturity, with original maturities greater than three months, are recorded as investments at cost plus accrued interest.

Fixed Assets Acquisitions of property and equipment over $1,000 are capitalized and recorded at cost or, if donated, at the approximate fair value at the date of donation. Depreciation expense is computed principally on the straight-line method in amounts sufficient to write off the cost of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives.

Normal maintenance and repair items are charged to expenditures as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and gain or loss on disposition is reflected in net revenue in the period of disposition.

Agency Payables Agency transactions are those in which the Convention is acting as an agent, trustee or intermediary for a resource provider. In order to determine whether an agency transaction exists, it is necessary to assess the extent of discretion the non-profit organization has over the use of the assets that are received. If it has little or no discretion, the transaction is an agency transaction.

Net Assets The financial statements report net assets and changes in net assets in two classes that are based upon the existence or absence of restrictions on use that are placed by its donors, as follows:

Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions - Net assets without donor restrictions are resources available to support operations. The only limits on the use of these net assets are the broad limits resulting from the nature of the Convention, the environment in which it operates, the purposes specified in its corporate documents and its application for tax- exempt status, and any limits resulting from contractual agreements with creditors and others that are entered into in the course of its operations.

2019 Book of Reports Page 38 UTAH-IDAHO SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION (A Non-Profit Organization) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Net Assets With Donor Restrictions - Net assets with donor restrictions are resources that are restricted by a donor for use for a particular purpose or in a particular future period. Some donor-imposed restrictions are temporary in nature, and the restriction will expire when the resources are used in accordance with the donor's instructions or when the stipulated time has passed. Other donor-imposed restrictions are perpetual in nature; the Convention must continue to use the resources in accordance with the donor's instructions. The organization's unspent contributions are included in this class if the donor limited their use.

When a donor's restriction is satisfied, either by using the resources in the manner specified by the donor or by the passage of time, the expiration of the restriction is reported in the financial statements by reclassifying the net assets from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions.

Classification of Transactions All revenues and net gains are reported as increases in net assets without donor restrictions in the statement of activities unless the donor specified the use of the related resources for a particular purpose or in a future period. All expenses and net losses are reported as decreases in net assets without donor restrictions.

Accounting for Contributions Contributions are recognized when received. All contributions are reported as increases in net assets without donor restrictions unless use of the contributed assets is specifically restricted by the donor. Amounts received that are restricted by the donor to use in future periods or for specific purposes are reported as increases in net assets with donor restrictions.

Expense Recognition and Allocation The cost of providing Convention programs and other activities is summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities and statement of functional expenses. Expenses that can be identified with a specific program or support service are charged directly to that program or support service. Costs common to multiple functions have been allocated among the various functions benefited using a reasonable allocation method that is consistently applied. Certain employee benefits and insurance are allocated based on salaries of program staff.

General and administrative expenses include those costs that are not directly identifiable with any specific program, but which provide for the overall support and direction of the Convention.

Tax Status The Convention is exempt a religious organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and classified by the Internal Revenue Service as other than a private foundation. No income tax return is required to be filed.

2019 Book of Reports Page 39 UTAH-IDAHO SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION (A Non-Profit Organization) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Change in Accounting Principles The Convention implemented FASB ASU No. 2016-14 in the current year, applying the changes retrospectively. The new standards change the following aspects of the financial statements:

The temporarily restricted net asset class has been combined into a single net asset class called net assets with donor restrictions.

The unrestricted net asset class has been renamed net assets without donor restrictions.

The financial statements include a disclosure about liquidity and availability of resources (note 5).

Date of Management’s Review Subsequent events have been evaluated through September 9, 2019, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 2. PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

The following balances have been restated to correct amounts reported in the prior year:

Cash and Cash Equivalents Investments in certificates of deposit and mutual funds totaling $672,629 were incorrectly reported as cash and cash equivalents in the prior year. The Convention has restated cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017 to reflect the corrected amount of $535,025.

Net Assets Accounts payable of $22,395 were not properly recorded in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, resulting in an overstatement of unrestricted net assets. Also, $51,923 of net assets designated by the Board were incorrectly classified as restricted net assets. The net effect of these corrections resulted in a prior period adjustment, increasing unrestricted net assets by $29,528.

Agency payables of $2,273 were incorrectly recorded as restricted net assets as of December 31, 2017. The Convention also identified incorrect classifications of net assets as temporarily restricted or unrestricted, with a net overstatement of temporarily restricted net assets of $51,923. The correction of net asset classification errors, including agency payables, resulted in a prior period adjustment decreasing the December 31, 2017 balance of temporarily restricted net assets by $54,196.

Note 3. TRUST AND MEMORIAL ACCOUNT

The Convention has set aside funds in a “Trust and Memorial” account for the purpose of making and assisting in loans to its member churches. The Convention had receivables of $4,567 outstanding as of December 31, 2018. The balance in the “Trust and Memorial” account included cash equivalents and investments totaling $114,926. The Convention can also use funds for related property acquisition and maintenance costs. The Convention had such expenses of $25,966, during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Note 4. LIQUIDITY AND AVAILABILITY

Financial assets available within one year of December 31, 2018, are:

Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 476,095 Accounts receivable, net 5,849 Investments 660,825 Total financial assets 1,142,769

Less financial assets held to meet donor-imposed restrictions: Purpose-restricted net assets (Note 9) (497,069) Less board-designated net assets (68,970) Amount available for general expenditures within one year $ 576,730

Note 5. INVESTMENTS

Investments consist of certificates of deposit with an original maturity greater than three months and investments in mutual funds. Investments included the following at December 31, 2018:

Certificates of deposit $ 50,696 Mutual funds 610,129 Total investments $ 660,825

Note 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and have the highest priority, Level 2 inputs consist of observable inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority.

Fair values for investments are determined by reference to observable data such as contractual terms and other relevant information generated by market transactions.

The fair values of assets measured on a recurring basis are as follows as of December 31, 2018:

Fair Value Measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 2018 Mutual funds – large blend $ 610,129 $ - $ - $ 610,129

2019 Book of Reports Page 42 UTAH-IDAHO SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION (A Non-Profit Organization) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

NOTE 10. RETIREMENT PLANS

The Convention participates in a retirement plan sponsored and administered by the GuideStone Financial Resources (formerly, the Annuity Board of the Southern Baptist Convention), an affiliated organization. All employees may elect to make discretionary contributions to the plan. Employees who work at least 1,000 hours per year and have worked for Southern Baptist organizations for at least 2 years are eligible for employer contributions. The Convention contributes 10% of eligible clerical employees’ salaries (12% for eligible professional employees) to the retirement plan.

The Convention also supports eligible member churches and their ministers by making a matching contribution to the retirement plan. Ministers who work at least 1,000 hours per year and have worked for Southern Baptist organizations for at least 3 years are eligible for matching contributions. The Convention contributes on behalf of the ministers up to $17.50 per month, plus an additional amount per month for a protection plan which includes disability and a life insurance component.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Convention contributed $59,723 to the retirement plan and protection plan on behalf of employees and ministers of member churches.

NOTE 11. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Convention maintains its cash deposits in various commercial banks. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At times, such deposits may exceed FDIC insured limited. The balance of uninsured deposits was $136,194 as of December 31, 2018.

STATE MISSIONARY 2019 REPORTS

2019 Book of Reports Page 55 2019 Book of Reports Page 56 Executive Director/Treasurer Report Rob Lee October 2018 – September 2019

Staff

Jerry Martin has been busy assisting churches with evangelism and prayer needs and Jason McNair assisting our churches with strengthening activities. Gary McKean has been extra busy assisting churches with their documents and helping with Sexual Abuse Policies for our churches. Staff has taken extended time over spring and fall to discuss the issue and reviewing our Sexual Abuse and Harassment policies in our Personnel Manual. Russ Hohmann is our Contract State Disaster Relief Director, Mary McFarling is Coordinator of the Women’s Missions and Ministries Network, Ben Neiser as Coordinator of the Collegiate Ministry Network and Mike Palmer serves as Director of the Church Plant Network.

Church Plant Network

Our Church Plant Network met in Idaho Falls the end of March. The meeting centered around what is working in different regions and the new funding grid from the North American Mission Board. The meeting discussed the issuing of SBC ID numbers to ensure we are only requesting church plants in agreement with the current Baptist Faith and Message. Church plants will provide documentation that we ask of all churches who officially affiliate with the Utah-Idaho SBC to ensure they agree doctrinally. The network agreed to start calling our network SEND Utah-Idaho just like we call SEND Salt Lake which will give us greater visibility nationally. North American Mission Board (NAMB) reports show that we have started fifty-six church plants in the past five and a half years, averaging ten new plants per year. At the SBC in Birmingham we had a joint booth with recruiting planters and partners.

Church Planter Catalyst

Evaluations of Church Planter Catalysts will be done by Mike Palmer, Director of SEND Utah- Idaho. Michael Cooper works in the Salt Lake and Utah counties and Eastern Utah. Bobby Wood, Church Planter Catalyst is working in Northern Utah and Southwestern Utah. Richard Dugger is covering all of Idaho. Leonardo Lopez’s last day serving as Hispanic Church Planter Catalyst for the NAMB was August 31, 2019. Our own funded Church Based Church Planter Catalyst for Western Idaho, Clint Henry of Central Valley Baptist Church, led our sponsoring Exponential Conference in Boise. We have seen four plants established this past year and three new plants beginning in the Treasure Valley area. A new plant just started in Magic Valley this spring. Our Catalysts are continually working with future planters and partners.

Send Salt Lake

Dr. Travis Kerns, Send Salt Lake Missionary for NAMB, resigned the end of June to become an associate professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth. Travis served faithfully for six years mobilizing numerous outside partners and planters to start new churches along the Wasatch Front. NAMB hired one of our own to become the new Send Salt Lake Missionary, Bobby Wood. Bobby will continue as a Church Planter Catalyst as NAMB transitions

2019 Book of Reports Page 57 Send City missionaries into dual ministry roles. Dr. Kerns and the director started Oquirrh Mountain Cowboy Church in the fall of 2018.

National Meetings and Trustee Update

Director attended the Executive Director Fellowship meeting, Western Executive Director meeting with Gateway Seminary, Southern Baptist Executive Committee meeting representing the State Convention. He continues coordination with the Executive Directors in Alaska and Hawaii on the trustee slots and is excited to report that the International Mission Board Trustees have approved a charter change that was approved by the SBC Executive committee in February that gave all state conventions at least one trustee slot with the International Mission Board. This is exciting and happened one year sooner that we were advised. There has been no movement by trustees or presidents of the two other agencies yet. He attended LifeWay Summit with Jason McNair and toured the new LifeWay building in December. LifeWay closed all brick and mortar bookstores this year.

Budget

We ended the 2018 Budget year above budget for the third straight year! Last year we were able to send fifty percent of the overage to the Cooperative Program and the other to the Pastor-Wives Retreat account. We ended 2018 $36,276.43 5.3% above budget. This year’s giving to the Cooperative Program for the first six months is 12.7% above budget. For the first time in our history, we passed on more than $200,000 to the Cooperative Program in 2018! Total for last year given will be $211,122.22. That is $20,558.22 more than we have ever sent in our history!!!! This beats the next highest year ever, 2007, when we sent $190,564. We continued our plan of increasing our percentage of giving passed on through the Cooperative Program (CP) to twenty-nine percent this year and, if approved, it will be thirty percent in 2020. Director met with President of NAMB in August to discuss how the new NAMB budget and format, effective October 1, 2020, will impact our last quarter of next year.

Other Assignments

The director represented the State Convention at two annual associational meetings, spoke in pastorless churches and provided counsel for Pastor Search Committees, met with Church Planter candidates, and visited Church Plants on open Sundays. The director started a Doctor of Ministry on Executive Leadership at Gateway Seminary fall 2018. He is part of the leadership that started a Cowboy-Country Church in the southern end of the Salt Lake valley where there are over 10,000 horse properties.

2019 Book of Reports Page 58 Sharing Christ State Missionary Report Jerry Martin Fall 2019

JD Greear called for September 8 as Baptism Sunday across the SBC. It is a part of the Who’s Your One? celebrations. The idea is to celebrate the harvest as it is happening. Help spread the word among the churches and associations. Most of us do not celebrate enough and this is an excellent reminder to all of us to celebrate the increase God is giving in a unified way. This is a wonderful kingdom idea.

Ski and Share was meaningful with great, clear preaching from Todd Liston and music led by the FBC Burley musicians. There were numerous prayer encounters with students and leaders and one student reported presenting himself for recommitment and call to ministry. Attendance was just over 200. The mission track was attended by 20 with 12 being involved for most of the time.

Sonfest 2019 was a blessing and move of God. About 330 students and leaders attended part or all of the event. God gave 12 professions of faith, 23 recommitments, 20 surrenders to ministry and many prayer needs. Ryan Young preached and Sean Patrick and Catalyst led the music. 25 churches participated.

With questions about the two retreats being asked, it is time for an historical review. Four years ago, the Executive Board tasked each state missionary with forming networks who will plan and put on tangent ministries, under their responsibilities. The assignment was for the networks to plan and implement the, in this case, retreats. The state missionary is to be responsible for resources for the retreats and to attempt to lower the annual losses caused by higher costs than registration fees would cover. The events belong to the networks for planning and implementation. Until this instruction is changed by the Executive Board, we will follow this assignment.

Retreats for 2020 are taking shape. Ski & Share will have JC Groves as Speaker and Drew Upton will provide the music for worship. Sonfest has Runks Runkles as speaker and Michael Johnson is leading worship in music.

OneFocus: Who’s Your One has begun in several associations. Eighty-seven people from 43 churches in five associations have taken part to date: Golden Spike Network, Treasure Valley, Silver Lakes, Salt Lake, and Utah Associations. Emphasis is given to Lead Factors which lead to results for which we generally set goals. Training is given in Prayerparation, at least five ways to share the Gospel, and Q & A. Attempts are being made to schedule OneFocus events in each association. OneFocus emphases have been: Reconciliation, Conversation Starters, Home2Hearts, and Who’s Your One?.

Prayer Journey is happening in conjunction with other trips across the two states. We are focusing on working with the Treasure Valley churches in discerning God’s future for these churches in association. Work will be done on organizational adjustments to readily plan, respond, and implement ministries based on this God designed future.

2019 Book of Reports Page 59 Strengthening Churches State Missionary Report Jason McNair Fall 2019

Looking back:

We had an amazing summer hearing reports of how Vacation Bible Schools and Sports clinics from across Utah and Idaho have impacted their communities. I am thrilled that we have partnered with these churches by providing training resources for their volunteers. We trained over 200 people through our spring clinics across the two states. We want to train more and are excited to see several people who were not able to attend our events login and view the Facebook video of the live training events in two of our locations. We need to improve our promotion of these events in the future and make access to remote training easier and more accessible.

This year’s State Missions Offering emphasis centers around helping our churches be more aware of how Utah-Idaho SBC staff and volunteers can help churches fulfil the Great Commission in the communities they are called to serve and do so with excellence. The focus is on Strengthening Churches, and we have created a simple set of icons that represent resources and tools that the UISBC can provide churches to meet their ministry and training needs. Many of our churches do not know all the things the UISBC can do for them in the way of providing resources, funds, support, training, and partnership to help them do the things they do as a church in their communities. We created our SMO Prayer Guide as a simplified explanation of what each of these icons mean to help start the conversation with churches in the hopes of better serving them as they serve Christ and His great commission. Funds from the State Missions Offering this year will go toward training workshops across Utah and Idaho to help them bring their Safety and Security policies and procedures up to Utah and Idaho State Codes. These workshops will examine church documents and procedures and suggest ways the State Convention can help them better protect the members, staff, families, and communities these churches serve.

Looking ahead:

The Fall Group Ministry training will kick into high gear now that summer is behind us and we can help strengthen the Bible teaching ministry of churches within our two states by utilizing our network of trained leaders to connect with churches that need help. We have a couple of individual church consultation events scheduled, but no major events yet on the calendar. That may change by the time of this publication and will be reflected on the UISBC calendar when those events are scheduled.

2019 Book of Reports Page 60 We are excited to be hosting a Discipleship Caboose meeting following our UISBC Annual Meeting in Idaho Falls, ID on October 19 called Disciple Well. It is meant for Smaller Church pastors to be encouraged to strengthen the discipleship of their members and to equip these pastors with tools that are contextual to their setting, while being reproducible and doable by the people in their congregations. I encourage every leader who comes to our Annual Meeting to stay for our Saturday Disciple Well event. It will be a great day of encouragement. The meeting includes a working lunch and several resources will be given away to each leader that attends.

How can the Executive Board help?

Thank you, board, for taking the time to look over our policies and budgeting procedures. We look forward to having those policies and budget line items more closely align with our three priorities in the future.

As an Executive Board, you can help us awareness of the things Utah-Idaho SBC staff can do directly to assist churches in their mission to fulfil the Great Commission. Help us take the starting point of what we put together for this year’s State Missions emphasis and expand the awareness of UISBC training, equipping, and funding resources to churches across our convention. We need to expand our engagement with the local church through direct communication, as well as through Social Media and electronically driven tools that are available. We need people resources that are capable of producing high quality promotional pieces that help churches become more aware of what UISBC has to offer the local church through their CP giving. The current staff is not capable of producing these pieces on their own. They need help finding the right people to contract with to help us communicate our unified vision for the future of our convention directly to the churches we serve.

Collegiate Ministries Report Ben Neiser, Director September 2019

What was accomplished?

Our students were equipped in many ways this year. Collegiate Week, the national SBC conference, was held at Falls Creek. We had students from Boise, Salt Lake, and Provo area ministries attend along with over 2,000 other students and collegiate leaders from across the country. The breakout sessions, dynamic teaching, and worship well-prepared our students for the Fall semester. The collegiate ministries throughout the convention has over one hundred students regularly attending their events and reaching out to thousands on the campuses.

Evangelism is a huge push among our collegiate ministry practitioners and their students. I was personally able to train students in evangelism at our Provo/Orem and Boise area campuses. One other church-based college ministry was able to have a weekend evangelism retreat. Our students are very faithful to share the gospel with their lost classmates, roommates, coworkers, etc. We also had short-term mission teams over the summer that partnered with local churches and collegiate ministries in the Provo and Boise areas. These teams, along with our local students, were able to make gospel impacts in their communities.

The Crossover Collegiate Conference was held February 15-18 at Risen Life Church in Salt Lake City. Crossover is a conference for the purpose of equipping and encouragement of our believing students. Much like Collegiate Week, the students received relevant breakout sessions, such as Biblical Faithfulness and Sexual/Gender Identity.

What is next?

I am in conversations with First Baptist Cedar City and Resonate Church Boise to provide evangelism training to their ministry volunteers and students.

We are also putting the finishing touches on the Fall retreat for the UISBC. This is replacing our winter retreat - Crossover. We see this as a change that will strengthen each ministry earlier in the school year and help build momentum. This year’s theme is Freedom. We will take everyone through a discussion-based study of Galatians.

In October, we will continue our monthly Collegiate Network video call. This is simply a time for us as college ministry practitioners to get together via video to support, encourage, and pray for one another and the ministries we represent.

2019 Book of Reports Page 62

How do those actions tie in to the UISBC mission and vision?

Sharing Christ We are focusing on continued faithful evangelism in our collegiate ministries through short-term mission teams, evangelism training, and holding our leaders accountable while creating a culture of evangelism. Starting Churches Some of our students involved in our collegiate ministries that are being equipped and encouraged in their faith are vital parts of local church plants. Strengthening Ministries Our national and state convention events are geared solely for the strengthening of believers. We also have a monthly conference call with practitioners to encourage and pray for them.

How can we (Program Committee/Executive Board) help?

• Pray for the campuses and campus ministry practitioners in our convention. Pray specifically for each ministry’s welcome week activities that are happening right now. • Share our story of what the Lord is doing on the campuses. • Encourage local churches near college campuses to engage this unique mission field. I’d love to see local churches adopt their nearest college or university and begin a prayer ministry for that school.

2019 Book of Reports Page 63 Director of Business Services Report Janice Trotter June 2019

Our Cooperative Program receipts continue to come in over budget for the first half of 2019. We have received $461,750 from our churches, which is 10.8% over budget. Praise God for the commitment of our churches to giving to missions. We continue to be in good financial shape and able to continue doing the ministry God has for us in Utah and Idaho. Our Lottie Moon Offering so far this year is $157,466 and Annie Armstrong Offering is $123,790. Our churches have also given $3,335 for World Hunger so far this year.

Of the $461,750 of Cooperative Program funds we received, $115,194 has been sent on to the Southern Baptist Convention for international missions, home missions, and seminaries. In addition, the Executive Board voted to send one half of the 2018 over budget Cooperative Program receipts on to the SBC. That is an additional $18,138 we have sent. So, with the Cooperative Program funds, the mission offerings, and World Hunger we have sent $214,720 out of our convention to impact our world for Christ and fulfill the Great Commission.

We receive a significant amount of money from the North American Mission Board to assist in planting new churches and with evangelization. We are very grateful for the partnership we have with the North American Mission Board. Starting in October of 2017, the process for receiving funds from NAMB changed. We are accessing the non-personnel funds by reimbursement as we spend funds for our NAMB supported activities. This means we won’t need to return money to NAMB at the end of 2019.

In 2015, the convention invested some of our funds with a GuideStone Institutional Account, in several mutual funds. The amount invested in 2015 was $601,970. Currently the balance in the account is $674,957. This past quarter had significant gains.

Also, the convention’s foundation has a small amount of cash invested with the New Mexico Foundation. The current balance invested is $4,470.

It is a privilege to have a small part in partnering with the convention’s ministries of Strengthening Churches, Sharing Christ, and Starting Churches; by sending the money out and keeping track of the funds available for these efforts. I am available to any of our churches and church plants to help with information and help with church financial issues.

2019 Book of Reports Page 64 Send Utah-Idaho Report Mike Palmer, Network Director September 2019

The key word since the May Board Meeting has been change. These changes primarily relate to personnel. As you may already know, Travis Kerns who served as our Send City Missionary for five years has moved to Texas where he serves on the faculty of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Leonardo Lopez who has served as our Hispanic Church Planting Catalyst is no longer with NAMB and a move that you wouldn’t even know about most likely is a change at NAMB in our Regional Director. Those are all big shoes to fill and call for those of us who work daily in church plating to make changes ourselves.

Bobby Wood who has served as a CPC for 3 years has taken on the added role of Send City Missionary for Salt Lake City. This is a perfect fit and allows for the smoothest transition possible. The planters all know Bobby and of course he’s already a part of the network and knows how we function day to day. On August 21, Bobby hosted a well-attended meeting for Salt Lake area planters that was also attended by Michael Cooper, CPC, Rob Lee, and me. It was a good time of encouragement, reassuring, and planning for the future.

When the Network began, the role of the State Director of Missions was absorbed into the network. Travis and I divided the work of the SDOM, but with Bobby filling the roles of both CPC and Send Missionary I have taken most of the administrative duties related to that SDOM.

With Leonardo’s departure we have an immediate need to serve our existing Hispanic planters and continue to nurture partnerships and incoming planters. To complicate that, we cannot replace Leonardo until a new Regional Director is in place. Currently, Leonardo is working with Bobby Wood in Utah and Richard Dugger in Idaho to be certain that our current planters have a healthy CPC relationship and to bring them up to speed with partners and future planting plans. As soon as NAMB has a new Regional Director in place we will begin the process of filling the Hispanic CPC role.

As you can see, everyone in the Church Planting leadership is taking on more responsibility. The praise is that communication and cooperation is better than ever, and everyone has happily stepped up to keep the church planting machine moving forward.

What has not changed is the need and progress. We still live in one of the toughest mission fields in North America and God continues to send us His best. As I write this report a Church Planter Assessment is closing in Las Vegas and the word is that the U-I planters were the best candidates there. Praise God! He is sending choice servants to join choice servants in reaching our two states.

Pray for your Network leaders, pray for planters and their church plants and pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers into the harvest fields of Utah-Idaho.

2019 Book of Reports Page 65 Missions and Partnership Coordinator Report Legal Consultant Gary McKean September 2019

Legal Ministry

I work with the UISBC churches through their pastors, church leaders, and church members to address church legal concerns, risk management, and church legal documents (bylaws, constitutions, policies, and so forth). I am available to lead legal workshops upon request.

Sadly, some churches are experiencing serious organizational and leadership conflicts and issues and they seek legal review and guidance on their bylaws and procedures to resolve matters when, often, the issues are spiritual.

Increasingly, I am advising churches that their church governing documents need to: • be centered upon the mission of the church and the fulfilling of that mission as highest priority; • enhance and enable pastor, leaders and ministries to equip the church and its members to fulfill the mission; • help church members to better understand the purpose of the church and what church membership means.

There is now an increased awareness of the need to develop and implement principles, policies, and procedures as to sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and security.

I shall continue to monitor and research legal issues and developments relevant to religious organizations (churches, associations, and UISBC) including religious liberty rulings and legislation.

Missions – Going

In recent years, the UISBC received $60,000 from the Schuller estate designated for ”missions”. The staff has considered varying uses for those funds that would honor the missions designation and also accomplish a broader Kingdom purpose.

The goal is to assist UISBC churches to engage in missions within the UISBC, United States, or internationally which involve the church going and becoming involved directly as a church missions ministry. It is living out Mark 16:15.

2019 Book of Reports Page 66 Going means: • members of the church personally participating in the mission work, going on mission; and • churches actively engaging in and going on missions separate from and in addition to giving to missions and sending or supplying items such as Bibles, study materials, packs, or equipment.

It is desirable that we encourage and assist churches to engage in church-to-church partnerships. We want to encourage our churches that have experience, and are active, in missions to connect with churches who have not had such experience or activity, and to be a guiding partner that comes alongside a partner church and go together.

The more we have discussed this approach, the broader the scope and possibilities become. For example, we envision assisting and encouraging mission experiences for college students and youth; developing a church missions network; conducting missions workshops, and more. We are exploring many aspects such as going forward with the Service Missionary Fellow Worker ministry and recruiting volunteer staff members focusing in missions.

Similar to some SMO distributions, we can establish a maximum grant amount for an individual church from the Schuller Missions Fund and perhaps from additional funds that may become available. We will need to determine what uses of the grant will be funded, for example, costs of preparing and teaching mission teams, travel, insurance, materials, and so forth.

We are excited about what can and will happen with the Going emphasis. We believe that a missions approach of Going will relate well to, and complement, the UISBC strategy areas: Sharing Christ, Starting Churches, and Strengthening Churches.

2019 Book of Reports Page 70 Women’s Missions and Ministries Mary McFarling, Women’s Network Leader October 2019

The goal of the UISBC Women’s Network is to inspire and encourage all women to be connected and engaged in prayer, discipleship, evangelism, and missions in their homes, churches, communities, and world. In 2019 the leadership team has worked to develop and/or partner in providing events to train and encourage women in one or more of these five focus areas. In turn, these areas of emphasis feed into the achievement of the UISBC ong-range Goals. As training and ministry with women supplement what is provided in local churches, women are encouraged to be actively involved in evangelism and supporting outreach, and missions (locally and globally), prayer (including praying for our missionaries and church planters), and discipleship (growing personally as disciples and discipling others.)

Early in the year, Mary McFarling attended training in conjunction with the Woman’s Missionary Union Board meeting in January in Birmingham, Alabama. She, along with Fondra Magee, attended the Missions Celebration, Board meetings, and trainings preceding the SBC convention meetings in June. Fondra serves as the President of Utah-Idaho WMU and is a Vice President, representing Utah-Idaho, on the national WMU Executive Board. We are grateful to the WMU Foundation which has provided a grant which pays for expenses to attend these meetings and provides funds for training and encouraging women in our two-state convention to actively support Southern Baptist missions and participate in missions and outreach locally and around the world.

We are excited to have four new WMU organizations for children which have been started in two Idaho churches. Children in these churches will greatly benefit by discovering how and where missionaries are serving around the world. Through Children in Action, Girls in Action, Royal Ambassadors, and Acteens, young people begin to see the world as God sees it and discover their place.

For the first time in several years, there was a convention-wide women’s retreat. “Journey” was hosted by Mountain View Baptist Church, Layton, UT, on September 20-21. We greatly appreciate all that the staff and leaders of the church did to facilitate this event. Our special guest was Debbie Stuart, Women’s Minister at Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas and LifeWay Trainer, who brought inspiring keynote messages. She, along with the Women’s Network leadership team and other local leaders, led breakout sessions providing training in women’s ministries, missions discipleship, evangelism, stewardship and relationships. WMU WorldCrafts products were available to order with a portion of the sales going to benefit HeartChange Ministries, our local Christian Women’s Job Corps, directed by Sonya Usher of West Valley City.

The pre-convention Women’s Conference, “Hope: Find It, Live It, Share It” was hosted by Calvary Baptist Church in Idaho Falls on October 17th. Featured leaders were Donna Avant, who serves with her husband John in Life Action Ministries and an IMB missionary. The conference also included a breakout session for ministry wives with Donna and a choice of ministry-based sessions.

2019 Book of Reports Page 71 Sonia Gutierrez serves on the team as our Hispanic Leader. She is doing an amazing job in providing events and training for the women in our Spanish-speaking churches. She has developed a leadership team and is meeting regularly with the women for training and planning. In August, they led a retreat for Hispanic pastors’ wives and had a retreat in September for women in the Utah churches with plans for a retreat in Idaho in the future.

The Women’s Network leaders have met in Zoom meetings and through emails as we’ve made plans for 2019 and looking into 2020. Our desire is to provide centralized events as well as partner with churches and associations to provide opportunities in outlying areas.

Bonnie Martin and Mary McFarling led breakout sessions at the Treasure Valley Association Women’s Retreat in April. Bonnie’s conferences provided training and resources for witnessing while Mary’s conference, through an inter-active “Refugee Loss Simulation”, encouraged women to support ministries with refugees and others who have experienced traumatic loss.

Bonnie Martin also facilitated a Pastors’ Wives fellowship in the Magic Valley Association in April. This event provided a time of refreshment and fellowship which was a welcome encouragement for this group of ladies, who are planning to continue to meet.

This year, some on our leadership team have moved out of state or have chosen to step off. A goal for the coming year is to expand the leadership team to fill these positions and include representation from each association.
